Lightning Causes Jets To Cut Practice Short

CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) The New York Jets have cut short their morning practice after 70 minutes because of a lightning warning.

The players worked through a heavy rain Thursday for most of the session before sirens wailed around the SUNY Cortland campus. Coach Rex Ryan ended practice shortly after fans and media – along with Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath in attendance – were told to leave the field.
